No comment on the price, your market is different than ours here.

That spec is very similar to ours (cold weather is standard, we have servotronic steering and premium, which includes all the other items you list). You have listed all the options I would consider important.

The heated steering wheel doesn't get as warm as our X5 did, or our 535. It is OK, but we notice the difference.

AZN mentioned it in the other thread, but make sure the transmission suits you. Some are reported as being fine, others are reported as being sensitive. I avoid the problem by not getting the automatic.

We would get the servotronic again. It makes it lighter to steer in parking lots.

Not sure which engine was offered in the US in 2007, but I assume this is the 3.0si, 260 hp or so. If it is less than that, decide for your self if you like the power. The si has lots of power IMO.

We have the 17" wheels. I prefer them for the ride. We don't have the sport package, and wouldn't get it on the X3. An X3 without sport package is like an X5 with sport package (in terms of ride comfort - the X3 still turns in better). X3s rode quite roughly with earlier models; the 2006 was better, and the 2007 was better again based on our test drives.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Thanks, it is the 3.0 sI. I test drove one the past few days, which is not the model listed here, hoping when I get behind the wheel it will respond differently. Interestingly the vehicle listed is also white.

The Options are nice and the price is acceptable, but the AT can be problematic, hence why there's a glut of them on dealer lots. Do a thorough test drive.

Just purchased similar rig. My difference is no pdc, no xenon adaptive, i do have sirius, step-tronic, 18" wheel upgrade, and my mileage is 22k. Listed at $33,900 and paid $29,900, st louis, mo. In service date was 7/2007.

Absolutely love this vehicle. True BMW, ride, looks, quality, handling. Might be a keeper for a few years.

My deal
 
I got an CPO'd 06 with sport pkg, bluetooth, servotronic, heated seats, xenons, cargo net, prem sound and 18's with recent oil service, brakes and 10,000 on the tires for $22,000. It had 47000 miles so part of the original warranty was in effect as well.

This might help you a bit. My opinion is that the price is a bit on the high side.
